On Tuesday 21st June 2016 the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye paid a courtesy call to United Nations Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, in order to explore opportunities for the UN system to leverage the influence of the RCCG and it’s leadership in facilitating inter-faith harmony and peace, creating a conducive environment for action towards the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)


Pastor Adeboye in his address, stresses the critical nature of global peace and development which forward thinking (or like-minded) stakeholders and the United Nations genuinely seek. He also stated that

The Redeemed Christian Church of God is intensely focused on impacting the entire global community positively through the platform of its Christian faith and values. Insisting that the church, remains acutely aware of the need to go beyond business as usual to reach (and continue to engage) the youthful population.

Pastor Adeboye further assures that he and the body of Christ will continue to step up to the challenge of providing above board leadership, which permits Christians worldwide to serve as a strong moral compass and voice for the society, speaking for the marginalized and disadvantaged while holding all stakeholders including the Body of Christ accountable to the population we serve.

Nice moves from both parties

It's a good thing. The UN has been working with some churches with agendas that are really against the church. The best way to reform a system is from the inside.
